I never trade in/sell any games. I have given a couple away though: Eledees and Red Steel, two bloody awful games that I haven't missed once since giving them to one of my ex-co-worker's kid.

I have bought one game more than once though: Legend of Dragoon. I've bought it twice now, just because it's my favourite game. I'd probably buy it again tomorrow if I found a copy, despite only having ~£80 to my name. :lol:

I hate you all - I started playing Oblivion again.

Now to get the mods that means guards don't automatically know you stole something in a city at the other side of the world!

I can't seem to get enough of Left 4 Dead 2 on the PC! I don't know what it is about killing hordes of zombies with 3 buddies!!

And the fact that you can play user created maps/campaigns keeps it going for me. I myself am having a go at making a map- takes ages tho. Trying to think outside the box and make it less predictable than your typical map format.

Do it, Heart Gold, and therefore Soul Silver are amazing. Totally worth it.

Mainly playing Blazblue at the moment. Such a good game. Although will start playing some more SF4 in anticipation of SSF4.
I'm also working my way through MGS4 as well, really enjoying it, I'm really tempted to download MGS from the Playstation store now, haven't played it for ages.

Quite a coincidence, everytime I have a shitload of work to do, I have a sudden urge to play all my old games again as well!

Spent last night playing a bit of Oblivion (Ghosts are a pain in the ass when your magic is shit and you only have a magic bow).

Then spent the last part of my night defending Darnassus from those ugly Horde bastards!

Been thoroughly enjoying my replay of SotC. I have come across some strange glitches, though. Like me and my horse have randomly melted through solid ground (twice!) and fallen to our deaths. :lol:

Another less funny one seems to only happen in battle where the screen suddenly goes white, but I can still view the map. :?

Anyways, I checked the progress of my Silent Hill 2 order and it's not even been dispatched yet... :x

Did your copy not come with an actual, real life map? It's both really useful and nerdy merch.
also, I'm fairly sure there is a map screen in game...
How many maps do you need, is the question.
